Job description

Are you a tradesperson, trade assistant, or field-based worker, based in the Bathurst area, looking to take the next step in your career? Whether your background is in telecommunications, electrical, construction, plumbing, civil works, or general labouring or similar industries - Including apprentices!

If this sounds like you, nbn would love to support you as you grow into a Customer Field Technician within our internal workforce. We value the skills you already have and will help you build the ones you need.

Join us in shaping Australia's digital future. In this hands-on, customer-focused role, you'll be helping connect homes and communities, making a real difference every day.

A bit about your role

As a Customer Field Technician, you'll work independently to complete a variety of tasks across different nbn technologies. Your work will include installations, repairs, maintenance, and supporting customers in their homes or businesses.

Your day might involve installing copper or fibre cabling, setting up customer equipment, identifying and fixing faults, and ensuring customers feel supported and informed throughout the process.

Working hours are between 7am and 7pm, with flexibility based on business needs. You'll receive full training, all required tools, and ongoing support so you feel confident and set up for success.

Safety is a fundamental part of this role- whether you're handling equipment, working in customers' premises, or completing technical tasks, you'll be expected to consistently apply safe work practices and follow nbn's safety procedures.

A bit about you

Previous experience in telecommunications isn't needed — we'll teach you everything you need to know. What matters most is that you enjoy hands-on work, like solving problems, and feel comfortable speaking with customers.

You might come from a trade, a hands-on technical job, or a customer-focused role. Experience in fields like plumbing, carpentry, electrical work, labouring, construction, mechanical work or manufacturing is highly valued.

You'll do well in this role if you enjoy working independently, managing your workload, and taking pride in delivering quality work. A strong commitment to safety, clear communication skills, and a current, clean Driver's Licence are essential.
